No Plastics in Nature

Business Model
Innovation - PACT• Addressing major leakage
points at city level• Piloting in high polluting
sites in South East Asia
• Ambition to start a global
movement

Global Plastics Campaign

Global Plastic
Policy Extended Producer
Responsibility

75% of plastic leakage
into the ocean comesfrom uncollected waste

Estimated up to 70% ofthe world population willbe living in cities orurban areas by 2050

Plastic Smart Cities: Two Approaches
1

Movement & Knowledge Sharing Platform
WWF invites Cities to commit to ambition
plastic pollution targets in line with WWF’s No
Plastic in Nature vision and to develop anddisseminate Plastic Smart Action bestpractices, to achieve our ambition of 1000
Plastic Smart Cities. For more information visit
www.plasticsmartcities.org

2Implementation Work
Working on the ground with cities and tourism
areas in 25 pilot countries across the region. Our
goal is to reduce plastic leakage in these pilot by30% by 2025 and keep plastic out of nature by2030.
